The next chance I get, I will go to the range and try some reduced loads and see how they fare in the Remington rifle. Regarding the position sensitive, yes, I understand that. What I have been doing for years is I put cotton in my case to fill up the empty void and that holds the powder at the back at the primer. It works well for me and I’ve been doing it for many years.
And thumbcocker, you are correct. The Tika and the Sako are a one in 11 twist, and the Remington is a one and 10 twist. That could possibly be my problem. Just a little too fast for the faster twist rate in the Remington.
